Rochester Optical says it will launch an add-on to the wearable device by January.
Although a general release date has not yet been confirmed for Google Glass, the announcement from New York-based company Rochester Optical that it will be releasing a prescription add-on by January could be a hint.
Even though Google are not actually involved in the project, we still have our fingers crossed that we may be able to get our hands on a pair soon.
Earlier in the year, eBay removed a mysterious $15,000 Google Glass auction held by a user who claimed to be able to get hold of a device long before release and ship it straight out.
Wearable technologist Tim Moore who recently joined the project, took to Google + to express his excitement.
“After months in stealth mode here at +Venture Glass, we’re happy to finally let you in on this exciting news. One of the first wearable technology items Rochester Optical will be producing are custom prescription, fashion, and sport lenses for Google Glass.”
Moore told Mashable that the Google Glass-ready prescription lenses will be priced around the same as regular lenses, and will come in a range of colours to compliment the device.
Customers must enter their prescription details online, choose a colour and can expect their lenses to be shipped within two business days. Simples.
